Again, who cares? If they succeed, great. If they fail, they'll come back and try to figure out why, if they're truly interested. They're only 20 years old. They have a full life ahead of them to try again. R. == 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Word of the Day, December 10, 2010: Belligerent.
I can't understand why you're so deadset on cutting everyone down. People learn languages in different ways. What works for one person may not work for the next. Does that really need to be spelled out? I'm not sure I even fully grasp your objection here. Are you actually claiming that learning ten, twenty, thirty words a day is impossible? 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

An average high-school educated native English speaker knows more than 12,000 words. Your
English seems quite good; from what I've seen, you're probably at least at that level. So have you learned one English word per day every day for the last 35 years? I wonder how you managed to fit in learning any Indonesian, German, Spanish, or Russian words... or, for that matter, Norwegian ones. Does your one-word-per-day rule apply to learning native languages as well? That's just patently false. If you accept that fact, then why is it impossible to learn more than one word in a foreign language per day? Are you trolling or what? 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

If I were a troll I would be living under a bridge in Norway. Am I an online
troll? Yes, perhaps, I am just a bit bored so I start discussions. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Perhaps if you learned more than one word a day you wouldn't be so bored. Just sayin'. R. == 6 persons have voted this message useful | |||

You might find posts originated by Ardaschir (starting pg 1) and Linguamor (starting pg 9) interesting in this thread: Super-fast vocabulary learning Techniques since they seem to agree with some of what you're saying.
